Dental caries is highly predominant worldwide. So, in addition to treating this caries, patients should be managed to avoid new caries. Preventive measures could be applied to the patients who are most expected to develop dental caries who are identified by caries risk assessment. Thus, effective caries risk assessment is essential to control new caries development. Dental caries can be prevented by conducting appropriate measures; therefore, it is crucial to identify those who are most likely to have dental caries by caries risk assessment and giving them the essential preventive measures. Though some caries preventive measures have showed success in descriptive clinical trials, there is little information on their practicality with high caries risk groups in everyday usage. Oral health is an essential part of general well being, people have used herbs in order to prevent dental diseases for centuries. In 2008 the Federal Council of Dentistry approved the use of medicinal plants for oral healthcare. Medicinal plants can heal bacterial diseases as it is full of antimicrobial agents. They are becoming more popular than chemicals due to the side effects of synthetic antibiotics and the antibiotic resistance in microorganisms. Studies propose that herbal extracts are highly effective against significant microorganism which cause dental caries like Streptococcus mutans. Herbal toothpaste decreases dental caries through combined effects of antibacterial agents, oral acid neutralisers and decreased plaque bacterial enzyme inhibitors present in the herbal toothpaste.
